Narberth Borough is in the process of drafting its first COMPREHENSIVE PLAN and we need your input! The plan will outline the community’s goals and vision for the future, and provide steps for implementation that will serve as a framework for the management of future development and policies.
Your input as residents, stakeholders, and business owners is critical in shaping the vision of how Narberth will look and function in the future. By sharing what you love about Narberth, and what you want to improve, you will help create a plan that reflects what is important to the community. Good afternoon all,
I wanted to take this opportunity to update everyone on our progression in Narberth. The service crews working on Sabine between Essex and Montgomery and Montgomery as well as Price between Narberth Ave and Essex Ave completed their work there today. Within the next few weeks we will return there to retire the Low Pressure mains on both of these streets. We currently have two main crews working in the neighborhood. The first crew is currently working on Hampden between Haverford Ave and the dead end North of Woodbine. Upon the completion of the installation and gas up this crew will move to Woodbine Ave between Hampden and Essex and then woodbine between Hampden and Montgomery. The main crew working on the Essex Rd began their installation at the end of the cul-de-sac on Wynnedale. They will proceed laying the main down Wynnedale and Essex and through all the intersections as they pass them. If you have any questions or issues as we progress please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks Rich Brunner Supervisor 215-430-1503 rbrunner@ulscorp.com Utility Line Service Inc. Narberth Recycling Collection Re-Scheduled; Due to severe winter weather in Wednesday's forecast, recycling in Narberth will be collected on Friday, March 9, 2018. So don't put your cans out until Thursday night! The Borough wants to pass along this storm prep information from Montgomery County:
TUESDAY “TO DO” LIST: With the likelihood of significant snow (and potential power outages) on the way, here are 10 things you should plan on doing Tuesday in preparation for the storm: 1) Reconsider travel plans – Roads will likely be a mess on Wednesday in all directions, especially during the day. Fewer cars on the road mean more room for snow plows! 2) Fuel up your vehicles – Make sure you have at least half a tank of fuel in your vehicles. It keeps the lines from freezing. 3) Fuel up your generators and snow blowers – This is especially important if you used your equipment with this past storm. 4) Restock your batteries – Your battery-operated radios and flashlights probably got a good workout this weekend. Swap them out with fresh ones just in case they’re called to duty again. 5) Plug away! – Make sure your portable electronic devices are fully charged before going to bed Tuesday night. If the power goes out, you’re going to need a way to stay connected to what’s going on. 6) Go shopping – If you lost power Friday, chances are good that you’re planning on replenishing those food items lost in refrigerator. Don’t forget to grab some non-perishable food and bottled water to have on hand. 7) Ice, ice baby – While at the store, snag a bag or two of ice that you can stick inside the refrigerator or freezer in case the power goes out again. The good news is that temperatures should be cold enough at night to store that ice in coolers or plastic storage containers outside. 8) Think “Margaritaville” – Don’t be like Jimmy Buffett! Make sure your shakers are full of rock salt, ice melt, or whatever your preferred method is to prevent and remove slippery surfaces. Cat litter can also work in a pinch ... just not in your margarita. Yuck! 9) Hire some help – If you know someone in the neighborhood who has access to a teenager or young adult, get a hold of them today and ask if they’d be willing to help shovel your snow. This is going to be a wet, heavy snow so consider outsourcing the shoveling job. 10) Hit the ATM – You might need the dough to pay the neighbor’s kid for digging you out. It’s also a good idea to have cash on hand. Here’s a bonus task (and one you hopefully already do): Please check on friends and neighbors who live alone or those who you think might need assistance. If you see someone on the street who is dealing with homelessness, there are resources in Montgomery County available to help them find a safe place to escape the cold. Connect them with Your Way Home by dialing 2- 1- 1 or 1-866-964-7925. If it’s a life or death situation, call 9-1- 1 7:00-9:30 PM - November 30, at Narberth Borough Hall
